I have a association for comment and the user model ( belongs_to :user and has_many :comments). in the comment_spec it throwing an error. comment model:
class Comment < ApplicationRecord
belongs_to :post
belongs_to :user
validates :post_id, presence: true
validates :body, presence:true, length: {minimum: 4}
end
Posts model
class Post < ApplicationRecord
validates :title, presence: true, length: {minimum: 3}
validates :body, presence: true
has_many :comments, dependent: :destroy
belongs_to :user
accepts_nested_attributes_for :ratings
end
User model
class User < ApplicationRecord
devise :database_authenticatable, :registerable,
:recoverable, :rememberable, :trackable, :validatable
has_many :posts
has_many :comments
end
Factories for comment
FactoryBot.define do
factory :comment do
body "sdfs dfjsdbf dsbfs"
post {create(:post)}
user_id {create (:user)}
end
end
Factories for users
require 'faker'
FactoryBot.define do
factory :user do
email {Faker::Internet.email}
password "123456"
end
end
Comment model spec
require 'rails_helper'
RSpec.describe Comment, type: :model do
describe "validations" do
describe "it is not present" do
let(:comment) {build(:comment,body:'')}
it 'should be invalid' do
expect(comment.valid?).to be_falsey
end
end
describe "it does not have minimum 3 char" do
let(:comment) {build(:comment,body:'12')}
it 'should be invalid' do
expect(comment.valid?).to be_falsey
end
end
end
describe "It is under a post" do
let(:comment) {build(:comment)}
it "it belongs to a post " do
expect(comment.post).to be_truthy
end
end
end
when i test the above comment model it showing the error Failure/Error: post {create(:post, user: user)}
ActiveRecord::RecordInvalid:
Validation failed: User must exist
Redefine your comment factory as
FactoryBot.define do
factory :comment do
body "sdfs dfjsdbf dsbfs"
post
user
end
end
In your comment_spec.rb
user = create :user
comment = create :comment, user: user
